LABOUR leader Sir Keir Starmer outlined his party’s ambitions to make Britain a clean-energy superpower in Edinburgh today.

Renewing his pledge for no new North Sea oil and gas, Sir Keir outlined an investment plan he says would create half a million jobs, grow the economy and get Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s “boot off our throat with real energy security.”

He set out plans for a new state energy company headquartered in Scotland: GB Energy, which would invest its surpluses in a national wealth fund.  A warm homes plan and a £500m-a-year British jobs bonus scheme offering capital grants to low-carbon industries were also outlined.
